Water & Wastewater Operations Specialist Apprenticeship Programs

Water and Wastewater Operations Specialists are imperative to your community for access to clean drinking water and to ensure wastewater effluent is returned to the environment properly. But with close to 50% retiring in the next five years, communities will fail to prosper or eventually even exist if replacements aren’t put in place AND properly trained. A growing population and increased demand for water and wastewater treatment services plus an aging workforce will drive employment growth and qualified, certified Operations Systems Specialists will be in high demand.

WHY APPRENTICESHIP?

Our nationally recognized training program was developed in response to the industry’s need to train the next generation of skilled workers and standardize training across the state of Indiana. Once an Apprentice completes this 2 year program and passes an aptitude test given by the State of Indiana, he or she is considered a journey worker and can do tasks unsupervised making this person employable as a Systems Operations Specialist in the Water / Wastewater Industry.
